I expect the sleep

Now that we no longer have toddlers, I fully expect to sleep until my alarm wakes me up in the morning. And yet, the sleep is becoming elusive.

We read something last week that I have been ruminating on and I wanted to share that bigness with the girls. It takes allContinue reading “Object lesson – beach”
